A new study reports a statistically significant decrease in patients being diagnosed with ASD by clinicians using the new DSM-5. Read More
Neuroimaging reveals a significantly diminished response in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in children on the autism spectrum. The findings could be used as a biomarker for diagnosing ASD. Read More
Autism diagnosis becomes stable starting at 14 months of age, researchers report. The accurate diagnosis of ASD, four months earlier than previously believed, leads to more opportunities for early interventions. Read More
Researchers show how inflammation in pregnant mice can trigger excessive division of neural stem cells in their offspring. This can result in an overgrowth of the brain and autism like behaviors. Read More
Boosts Sociability, Quells Repetitiveness – NIH Study National Institutes of Health researchers have reversed behaviors in mice resembling two of... Read More
Researchers have created a machine learning program that soured the entire human genome to predict which genes could contribute to ASD. Read More
A drug commonly prescribed for edema improves the symptoms for young children on the autism spectrum with no significant side effects. The drug, bumetanide, decreases the ratio of GABA to glutamate in the brain. Read More
Neuroimaging study isolates functional differences between autistic and non-autistic brains, researchers report. Read More
Researchers studying interventions for adolescents and young adults with autism are reporting today that there is insufficient evidence to support findings, good or bad, for the therapies currently used. Read More
A new study questions the theory that adolescents on the autism spectrum have trouble identifying different emotions expressed on the faces of others. The findings revealed adolescents with ASD have similar accuracy, response times, and fixation on facial features as their neurotypical peers when asked to infer mental states from faces. Read More
Researchers reveal the deletion of a specific protein in progenitor cells leads to disrupted brain development. Read More
